    I love this Temple inside and out. From simply the way it feels to be around and inside to the amazing history it has of its restoration story as it came to be a temple. I had the chance to volunteer in this temple for about two and half months and the service I was able to offer was some of the highlights of my year. The outside is beautiful and truly provides a brief experience of what it is like to be inside. The inside is beautiful as it has multiple floors of hallways full of art and rooms with sacred purpose. The work that goes on here is nothing less than a miracle brought forth by the hand of God and His peoples faith. I had a chance to attend as a patron, offer service as a volunteer, and as a missionary accompany a friend of mine for his first time attending the temple. It is one of my favorite places on the Earth and I plan to be able to attend it as frequently as possible for the rest of my life.

    This is the Draper Utah Temple of Utah County; simply the best! I love the intensity of the Spirit you feel here when serving. It's supposed to be the same everywhere, but for me, it's tied for the best spiritual experience wroth the Draper, Utah Temple and the Washington, D.C. Temple! I will look forward to see how the Provo, Utah Temple compares when its renovations are complete!

    Have visited many temples, and this one is one of the most ornate and detailed inside. You will absolutely love all of the paintings and it’s uniqueness!! If there isn’t parking space in the garage, there is plenty of available room within the surrounding residential area.

    Beautiful place, both inside and out. Even if you're not a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the grounds are beautiful and a great place to come to just sit for a while sometimes.

    I remember well the announcement and construction of this temple. Truly it is a testament of perseverance and new beginnings. This temple is truly the house and symbol of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

    The Provo City Center Temple is a prominent building located in Provo Utah. It was a sad night when it was burnt, I stood and watch as people started to gather and watch in horror. The temple was constructed on the site of the former Provo Tabernacle. I remember taking my kids to explorer this old building and it beautiful pipe organ. It is a beautiful temple and I love [passing by and just looking at its beauty. If ever you get the chance to visit the grounds it would be a wonderful experience. You can feel the peacefulness just sitting on meditating or reflexing on life.

    This temple is so beautiful! It's history and background is very cool and inspiring. It's definitely a must see if you're in Provo!

    Beauty from ashes! The history of this temple is awesome. It was an early tabernacle that burnt down tragically in the 2010s but the walls were still standing. The church took that shell and lifted it into the air, put another floor under it, and turned it into a temple. It is beautiful! Honestly, it is almost an allegory of what can happen when a soul with a burnt out life puts itself in the hands of the Lord. He will lift them higher and make them more glorious than they ever could be on their own. Around the windows on some of the stone you can still see scorch marks. The spiral staircase up to the sealing rooms were really cool. They are in the turrets. The gazebo outside has a Christus and a waiting area with bathrooms underground connected to the underground parking. Most of the furniture has a historic feel that matches the historicity of the original building.

    Families are forever. Amazing history and very interesting story about this temple. Was originally a tabernacle, almost burned to the ground, massive restoration made it the crown jewel of downtown Provo in my opinion. Photographers paradise. Contact the local missionaries for a walk around tour.

    This is one of the most historic, beautiful temples on the earth! The RED BRICK sets this temple apart and the underground parking is appreciated. Summer brides: consider getting married earlier in the day, shooting outside in the sun is brutal.

    Really beautiful temple. I visited on my way through Provo and the gates were closed but I enjoyed seeing such a nice place.

    The Provo city center temple has a soft spot on my heart. It is where I got my endowments in 2019 and now it’s the place where my brother in law got married to my sister in law. I love visiting the temple and this time of year is so magical. The tulips and flowers were in full bloom and the grounds were exceptionally clean even with all the people around. The staff is always so kind and helpful. In the bridal suite, we needed some assistance and ended up getting the help of multiple temple workers. This place is magical. You do need a temple recommend from the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to enter within the temple, but the grounds are a place perfect for contemplation and serenity. I recommend a walk through the temple grounds to anyone of any background. It’s truly beautiful. This is the most crowded I’ve ever seen the temple grounds, but there was over 3 sealings going on so it makes sense.

    What a beautiful and peaceful place. How they restored the tabernacle to a temple after the devastating fire is simply amazing, just look up the pictures online.

    Beautiful temple along with the surrounding landscape. A fun place to go walk around with your family. The grounds are open to the public to do so. The historic building is one to admire. The interior is beautiful in every way.

    If you can feel this much peace on the grounds outside the Temple, imagine how much peace must be waiting inside. A week without it is incomplete. We all need a source of recharging our faith, hope & charity.

    Great place to feel the spirit, make covenants and to remember the covenants you’ve already made, if you aren’t a member of the church you can still enjoy the beauty of the exterior and if you ever have the opportunity to go to a temple open house I would highly recommend it.

    Our family is so happy that the tabernacle could be "revived" into such a beautiful temple. Wonderful memories here of conferences, meetings, and performances. And wonderful memories ahead, I'm sure.

    The Provo city center temple is beautiful! I had bad back ache this day and was able to use elevators. When I made an appointment online helps you get right in. It was pretty full for the 2pm session. Happy I went. Feel refreshed and revitalized. Going again soon!

    Beautiful temple! If you are ever feeling stressed or down just come here, bring a journal and journal. Come to the lord with your thoughts and feelings and he will answer you. Whether you are lds or not, you come here, just still think and feel peace, walk the grounds and enjoy the moment youre in, or if you are having a hard one and its hard to feel or understand the lesson just pray. Know you are not alone

    Prettiest temple in the area with the nicest yard. Perfect place to feel the spirit and grow closer to God. Very well kept! The gates to the temple close at night, but the temple yard stays open.

    It is amazing what the old tabernacle has become. This is a great place to come and be quiet even if you are not going into the temple itself. Come and enjoy this little spot of peace and beauty in downtown Provo.

    One of my favorite buildings in downtown Provo. While I miss the iconic tabernacle as it was growing up. But this has revitalized downtown Provo and looks beautiful with the green gardens around combined with the Nu Skin gardens.

    The grounds are so beautiful to walk around on The temple inside is my refuge. I form Vermont and had not had the opportunity to see this temple before. It did not disappoint. Note...there are a lot of stairs. But don't worry...they have an elevator too.

  • 5/5 Devin 1 year ago on Google
    It is a very amazing place, I will come here with my friends and do things for the church in the temple. Even if you don't have a recommendation to get inside, you can still go on the temple ground and walk around and it is so beautiful with clean pathways and flowers around. One of the most peaceful places I've been to
